Carmen Owens, 41, of Shawano, Wisconsin, was last seen at the Shawano bus station on November 2, 1998. She bought a Greyhound ticket to Green Bay and may have intended to travel on to Minnesota. At the time she wore a brown polyester coat and carried a purse containing keys and her checkbook but had no luggage. Her medication was left at home, and that has been a continuing concern for her welfare.

Her home contained a map of Minnesota and apartment listings in Green Bay, suggesting possible destinations, but there has been no activity on her checking account or Social Security number since she vanished. Carmen led a quiet life, often visiting the local library and enjoying horseback riding and wood carving; she was close to her mother, who died in 2009. The disappearance remains unsolved and she has not been heard from since.

If anyone saw Carmen at the bus station, on a Greyhound after November 2, 1998, or remembers relevant details about her possible travel to Green Bay or Minnesota, please share what you know.
